Jim - A Husband's Story

Everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when something traumatic happens. For me, I was at work and I pulled my truck over (Ironically at the building behind Cancer Patient Care) on January 15th 2008 at 1:37 in the afternoon when my cell phone rang. It was my wife. The words “It is cancer, Jim” will haunt me for the rest of my life. Click here for the rest of Jim and Rhonda's story
